‘On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” ‘ Mark 4:35 Hindsight really is a wonderful thing. One of the things about hindsight, though, is seeing where the clues where there to ensure we didn’t have to go through with that degree of anxiety […]
Read More He Did Say We’re Going AcrossI’m very grateful for my good friend. There I was, concerned about how would we get the people, how would we market what we were doing, how would people get onto it. There he was with the crucial words of wisdom. Obedience in following and diligence in doing is all that’s required. The initial relationship […]
Read More Diligence: Keep On Doing What You’re Called To DoThere’s this bit in scripture: And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the Lord commanded. Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice […]
Read More Prayers and PracticesNo wonder Sarah laughed. One of the three visitors turned and told her husband that in a year’s time they would have a child. That was crazy talk. Did those visitors see how old her husband was? Didn’t they pay attention to how she wasn’t a spring chicken either? Man that time of child-bearing had […]
Read More He Will Do What? You Must Be Having A LaughHere’s the tragedy about Solomon. It’s not as though he wasn’t made aware. First of all, he has his parents. When he mentions about the influence of his parents in Proverbs, it’s not creative licence to make up stuff. You know Bathsheba would have told him enough about the way of wisdom. Then there’s his […]
Read More Always Something There To Remind YouWhat’s that, you’re saying if I pray, then I will have an encounter with God? That’s brilliant. So how do I pray? This is how I pray? I thought I had to put my hands together and always kneel. Oh, it’s not essential. OK, so this is how I do it. Right. What’s that? I […]
Read More Ongoing RenewalWhat happened? Something happens. People are involved in the happening. People observe the happening. People will get impressions on the happening. From there different narratives will be developed on what happened. Some will come together neatly and depending on those involved, it will become the accepted story for what happened. The way the happening is […]
Read More When Something HappenedIt hurt to be passed over again. Frank was the only one of the 2016 influx who was still operating at advisor level. All the others had progressed in the company and several of those that he joined with were now in positions of middle management with a clear route to executive positions within the […]
Read More Faithful Through The ChallengesExperience is such a valuable commodity in life. Having that degree of having done something before and knowing the highs and lows about the something in most cases makes you a valued member of any company. Indeed in some cases, organisations go out of their way to look for the proven and trusted operator on […]
Read More The Answer For Today Is Not Always Found In YesterdayIt was my mentor who got me to start thinking properly about expectations. Previously things happened to me and I just went with the flow. I was the recipient and did not really impose anything. I went to university to a large degree because it was expected of me. I had done the A-levels to […]
